In scriptures
According to Genesis 5:9–14, Kenan was a son of Enosh and a grandson of Seth. Born when Enosh was 90 years old (3679 BC),[1][2] Kenan fathered Mahalalel when he was 70 years old.[3][1] Other sons and daughters were born to Kenan before he died at 910 years of age (when Noah was aged 179 as per the Masoretic chronology).
According to the Book of Jubilees, Kenan's mother was Noam, wife and sister of Enosh; and Kenan's wife, Mualeleth, was his sister.
He is also mentioned in the Genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:36–37.
